cleaning

[Perefalcon]

what does everyone use for that once a month intensive cleaning??

I use highly diluted ammonia usually, but since I'm preggo, I don't think that's safe for me to use, so they haven't gotten their tanks scrubbed in a while...but I'm feeling industrious today, so some ideas would be great!!

I mainly use soap and water, but I also use bleach & water (Very diluted) ocassionally, and also use Novalsen (Sp?) as well.

...........wow, I feel kinda ignorant for this........but what's Novalsan??? I haven't heard it mentioned before

 

[PaulSage]

Nolvasan (or however it's spelled... lol) is also known as chlorhexedrine ... it's usually a bluish color and you can usually get it through vet supply stores/websites and farm stores (usually in the milking dept.).

I use that and just plain old Dawn dishsoap. Nolvasan makes a good disinfectant, but I like how the dish soap leaves the tubs squeaky clean. (plus playing in the bubbles is always fun)

Mild dish soap for cleaning and Nolvasan for disinfecting.
